Trent Lott is probably still confused about why there was so much teeth
gnashing over his recent remarks in praise of Senator Strom Thurmond,
and he's probably doubly confused why he has now been forced to take a
back bench seat in the Senate. Such confusion, if in fact it exists, is
often the result of having the wrong idea about reality.

My guess, based on Senator Lott's actions, is that Lott falsely believed
he was being attacked solely because of his words. With that as his reality,
he seemed to have concluded that all he had to do was apologize for those
words--repeatedly. The apologies were getting so silly that it almost
seemed as though Lott was about ready to have his hair put in corn rows.
It didn't work. All that Lott accomplished was to look absurdly out of
touch, not only with blacks, but also with whites who have some sense
of who they are. In fact, under the circumstances, going on Black Entertainment
Television to apologize to blacks must have seemed insulting and condescending
to many blacks who might have seen this not as an attempt to get things
straight with equal, before the law, citizens but almost as though Lott
had gone to the local watermelon stand to apologize.

Whites who keep abreast of the race intimidation going
on in this country right now, probably knew that Lott's apologies wouldn't
work. They knew why Lott was really being attacked.

What Lott didn't understand is that he was being attacked for being
white and seeming to have some consciousness of this fact. No matter
how much he apologized, he just couldn't get rid of his whiteness--it
comes from within and is natural with many whites who have less conditioning
that others. In addition, Lott may not have recognized the general anti-white
bigotry and hatred of whites that is bubbling just under the surface
throughout post American America. Such hatred of whites in post-American
America doesn't always carry easily seen symbols of this sickness. Instead,
the attacks against whites, for their whiteness, often come disguised
as attacks against some expression of white consciousness or identity.
This is often accomplished by white haters through the device of calling
whites, with any white identity or consciousness, haters or racists
or any of a host of other terms that are, themselves, hate terms. Few
whites are even able to see through the smoke screen of these attacks
to their real nature, and waste their time intellectually castrating
themselves by defending against the silly charges. Once one starts defending
against these imprecise hate terms, the haters smell blood and continue
their attacks. Instead of fighting back, Lott tried to prove that he
wasn't a racist and ended up looking ridiculous.

Speaking about this issue of the anti-white bigotry
and hatred in post-American America; it isn't going to go away by whites
trying not to be white or by apologizing for being white. Whites need
to stop pandering to non-whites in a misguided attempt to stop such
hatred of whites. Whites need to treat all peoples with respect, but
they also need to start demanding such respect for themselves as a distinct
people with a right to self-identification, self-determination and,
yes, a right to their own destiny as they themselves wish it.

We'll just have to wait to see whether Lott's spirit has been broken
by all this and how he handles his Senate demotion. Two possible futures
immediately present themselves: 1. Lott might wake up to the real nature
of the attacks on him and get mad enough to change things for the better
for all repressed white people in this country, or 2. He might evidence
a variation of the Stockholm Syndrome and spend the rest of his time
in the Senate trying to prove that he's not a racist by becoming a black
racist himself and doing things that will be anti-white. He's already
said he's in favor of affirmative action, which most whites consider
to be a thinly disguised anti-white shuck and jive that penalizes whites.
One also wonders if Lott is so cowed that he'll back off his strong
stands against illegal immigration for fear he'll be called names again.

There are lessons in this Lott matter for all white
people:
1. We must understand that the spirit of our times is anti-white.
2. We must understand that anti-white haters will attack any white who
dares to BE white.
3. We must understand that if we are attacked we should honestly ask
why we're being attacked--we need to step back and see if the attack
has any real merit. If it doesn't, then we shouldn't apologize.
4. We must understand that we must never deny that we are "racists."
If we are called this, or similar terms, we must ask for a definition
of the term. Then, if we think the definition is valid, and if we choose
to answer, we should do so by using the definition itself, and not by
saying that we aren't racists or whatever term we are called. For example,
if someone calls you a racist. Ask for the definition. They may say
"You hate people of other races." If you don't, you might
reply "I don't hate people of other races."

Don't fall into the anti-white bigots' trap of responding
to labels that are so vague that they could mean anything. ALWAYS GET
THE TERMS DEFINED and always respond to the definition, not the label.

Bill
Clinton was ridiculed for once saying something depended on the definition
of "is." Clinton was right to ask for the term to be defined.
And, "racist" has many more possible meanings than "is."
